** 18-Mar-2020 Fake News
If you have an actual example where I've posted fake news, I'd like to
know where it is. If I've made a mistake, I'll post a correction and
apologize.
I'll add that over the years I've dealt with hundreds (thousands?) of
commenters, many of them hostile, on the left, on the right, Russian
trolls, Syrian trolls, Iranian trolls, Chinese trolls, Burundi trolls,
Zimbabwe trolls, etc., etc., and except for occasionally getting a
name or date wrong, no one has ever found any "fake news." And by the
way, this isn't a left-right thing. People on the far right are just
as idiotic as people on the far left. Almost all people today are
incredibly ignorant -- many of them can't even read a map or
understand percentages -- and so they depend on their favorite
ideologue crazy to tell them what to believe.
